The former Baywatch star, who posed naked for the last-ever nude edition of Playboy in January, shocked fans with her recent anti-porn thinkpiece, co-written by Rabbi Schmuley Boteach.

In the piece, Pamela argued that "porn is for losers – a boring, wasteful, and dead-end outlet for people too lazy to reap the ample rewards of healthy sexuality".

Pamela called for a "sensual revolution" that would "replace pornography with eroticism - the alloying of sex with love, of physicality with personality, of the body's mechanics with imagination, of orgasmic release with binding relationships".

On CNN, she noted that people think it's "hypocritical of me because there was a [sex] tape stolen from my house. I'm talking about violent porn".

It's been a long, long time since the 1995 sex tape of Pamela and then-husband Tommy Lee put a mark on her career for years to come.

But Pamela's quite happy with being an aging sex symbol, she says.

"I have the same issues that every other woman has, like what's happening to me?" she said. "You can't quite put your finger on it, but something's different. It's called aging. But it's good, I can't wait until I'm old with no teeth. It'll be fun.

"We all get older and we have to embrace our age. Age gracefully and still have fun. I have a young spirit so I think that's what kind of stays young."
